Ok the rules are this. Each time you see Dara lurking, post here. When this thread reaches 100 posts, we throw a party, or something.

Its all so funny.

So let me start off....ping!

She's here more often than some of our regular posters.

Jedi Master Carr

I just saw her lurking in the out of character forum, curious does she ever post?

Taylor Millard
Nov 16th, 2002, 01:03:02 AM
No she doesn't...TSE (which used to be a part of SWF) threw a big hissy fit and left SWFans.

She's one of the members of that group. It's funny how she was one of the ones who did complain and she still checks the boards out.

Once you start visiting here you can't leave. >D

Jedi Master Carr
Nov 16th, 2002, 01:10:13 AM
I remember all that happening so now I see, I guess she finds our board intresting to read :)

Taylor Millard
Nov 16th, 2002, 01:13:04 AM
Or she wants to be on a board that actually has posts? I mean...:mischief

Never mind. :D

I usually see her here about 4 or 5 times a day. She could be looking for more ideas to steal, which is something they do both design and administration wise.

Sanis Prent
Nov 16th, 2002, 02:18:09 AM
Sums left o_O

ReaperFett
Nov 16th, 2002, 05:50:13 AM
Great idea Charley ;)



On the Saturday of last week (Or the week before, I forget), she came something like 3 times in four hours. Twice during the course of Dark ANgel :)





And as an aside, I think that we should not ever mention her name if the party went public. Just keep her as "Our lurking friend" :)

Taylor Millard
Nov 16th, 2002, 11:24:33 AM

Waldo has been spotted lurking through threads in OOC yet again.

Nov 18th, 2002, 10:43:14 PM
And there's Waldo again, in the same forum.

Taylor Millard
Nov 19th, 2002, 12:15:02 AM
I did see her checking out Vera Ravencourt-Millard's account but I think she just enjoys OOC Forum. Why...I don't know.

Nupraptor
Nov 19th, 2002, 12:26:26 AM
You know, if she really wanted to lurk, she should just log out and browse anonymously.

Taylor Millard
Nov 19th, 2002, 01:15:07 AM
I suppose she just wants ot pretend to be invisible since she's on invisible.

*evil look* remove that invisibilty hack for 24 hours so all I can that she's still coming!

;)

JOKING!

TheHolo.Net
Nov 19th, 2002, 01:16:54 AM
Invisibility isn't a hack, its a standard vB option, but I did make her visible once, but felt bad frelling with her account so I switched it back. :lol

Taylor Millard
Nov 19th, 2002, 02:46:20 AM
:lol YOu Ebil one you!

>D :lol

But yeah we shouldn't mess with her account. I wonder how soon till she starts posting again (hopefully never :p)

Once you leave...they always come back. ;)

TheHolo.Net
Nov 27th, 2002, 12:24:35 AM

And a minute later, Jeseth's other thread in OOC. "An IC Business Arrangement"

Taylor Millard
Nov 27th, 2002, 12:41:14 AM
They can never leave can they?

TheHolo.Net
Nov 27th, 2002, 12:43:03 AM
They are confirmed thieves, so I suspect thats what they are looking for, things to steal or at least try to bash our administration with.

I have to laugh looking through their user help forums though. Almost every answer they have given people is basically summed up in "I don't know". :lol

TheHolo.Net
Nov 27th, 2002, 03:18:31 PM
Bling bling, she's in OOC.

Navaria Tarkin
Nov 27th, 2002, 04:05:31 PM
yep she is... looking at the yogies thread :D

TheHolo.Net
Nov 27th, 2002, 04:48:35 PM
Their board must be really dead today or they are really desperate to steal something from us. She is lurking in OOC yet again.

TheHolo.Net
Nov 27th, 2002, 07:32:35 PM
She's still lurkin OOC threads.

Taylor Millard
Jan 11th, 2003, 12:15:01 AM
Now she's looking at Holly's cousin's profile.

Wow she's actually looking at an RPer's profile.

For what?

*spooky music* ;)

Must be a family thing :)

Taylor Millard

ReaperFett
Jan 19th, 2003, 09:02:54 AM
Erm, waht exactly is wrong with him? I may have missed something major, except the him bashing thread.

Navaria Tarkin
Jan 19th, 2003, 09:57:18 AM
It is the fact that his name appears in every forum when he is on ... always -_- he likes to be in every thread ... that isn't as bad as his attitude towards me in OOC avalon :mad He is very rude and doesn't think about his posts

TheHolo.Net
Jan 19th, 2003, 09:58:41 AM
HE told Dae in IM that he would be running GJO soon too. :lol

ReaperFett
Jan 19th, 2003, 09:59:05 AM
Okay, one thing though. Is it right that we have someone with nothing to do with the administration telling people what to do?

TheHolo.Net
Jan 19th, 2003, 10:00:28 AM
Sanis was the one to mention spam, and Morgan wasn't quite so specific just voicing a greivance.

The guy has bothered Morgan on IM a few times too.

Taylor Millard
Jan 19th, 2003, 08:17:34 PM
She's looking at the 'I'm so very confused' thread, now.

Sanis Prent
Jan 19th, 2003, 08:39:21 PM
Nah...I say we draw her out in full spotlight :)

ReaperFett

Grah. It's stupid crap like this which makes me disgusted with this place sometimes. The fact that people would throw a hissy fit like this really bothers me. Anywhere else - anywhere else at all - and this would have been something for everyone to laugh at. Here, it becomes a debate which needs to be closed.

Everyone wants to walk on eggshells, afraid to hurt someone's feelings. But having to walk on eggshells means you lose a lot of the ability to have a friendly and fun atmosphere. I really wish this place had an amtosphere more like TTLG (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/) There, the admins get down and chat with the posters without the fear that something they said will be taken the wrong way, everyone gives each other a friendly ribbing and yes, there's even some friendly insulting going on.

For example: There's one image which reads "Old Hat, Mother****er". They post the image when a thread has already been posted before. :) Everyone gets a laugh out of it there. On this board, it would start a 10 page argument.

Now, I'm not saying we should be going around posting an image like that here at SWFans - we're not exactly the same. But walking on eggshells really gets tiresome.

Lilaena De'Ville
Feb 25th, 2003, 11:17:03 PM
Agreed. :x

I edited out all the instances of D__ or D related guesses, but left in the "her" references. The damage has been done IMO, but I didn't want to leave anything for the vultures to pick over.

Reason for edit in one post: trying to please the vocal minority by editing out offensive initials...

I don't think that will be necessary. None of us made a move to stop you, we all participated in this, so we're all just as guilty (presuming anyone is guilty here, but I digress).

Taylor Millard
Feb 26th, 2003, 12:45:36 AM
I thought the post was pretty funny.

I guess people just don't like lurkers getting 'called out'.

If anyone is really mad about it, it's Hadrian...I've talked to him about it, and I think we've both agreed to disagree on it.

:rolleyes

As is usual, when it involves Dara it becomes a great big drawn out drama that sucks in her troops from the woodwork. As you saw, we had the sudden appearances of several posters who have not been active here for months or evenb longer than that. Why I ask? Most likely because they heard through the grapevine that someone was offended and they rallied to her cause.

I have now received a several PMs and a few emails, only one of which from a currently active member of this community complaining about this, and its pretty sad to see so much effort being put in to discredit the staff here.

I know for a fact that there have been many threads at the SWR board before its closure trashing the staff members of this board, yet we didn't bombard there administration with complaints, or more often than not, even post regarding the matter. Why the hell do they have to pop up all of the sudden? Oh wait, to make hemselves look better than us......yeah sure.

Drama queens the lot of them. I'm too busy visiting with family that I only get to see every few years to reply to all these PMs or emails right now, and at this point am not certain how to respond. I want to tell them to get the hell over it and crawl back into the shadows they crawlled out of, but will probably decide on something else eventually.

The drama and the ones who now operate SWRPG never seem to stray far apart. It really is still quite comical to watch unfold without end.

Taylor Millard
Feb 26th, 2003, 02:32:19 AM
I didn't even know that Leia was posting at SWRPG or whatever it's called now.

I'm trying to discuss the entire situation with Hadrian and calm him down a bit.

Sanis Prent
Feb 26th, 2003, 02:41:46 AM
I don't think she is. I honestly don't know what the deal is with her timing and the thread. If she wants to make mountains out of molehills, she can very well go ahead. To say I'm disappointed in her is a severe understatement.

ReaperFett
Feb 26th, 2003, 02:47:25 AM
If she didnt want to be seen, why is she logged in? :)



If someone did this at TF.N, people would joke about it. They'd have fun. Shame our apparently great community is so uptight.


I dont think it was made any easier by someone calling her a coward and someone who they dont give two craps about though.

ReaperFett
Feb 26th, 2003, 03:30:29 AM
As an aside, Im thinking I may PM Dara out of curiosity, just to see if it actually offended her. That alright?

Shawn
Feb 26th, 2003, 03:41:03 AM
If she didnt want to be seen, why is she logged in? I think I posted something similar at the beginning of this thread: If she really wanted to lurk, she could just log out. Not like she has access to any private forums here.

PM her all you want. But since she is no longer a participating member of this community, and given her past history here, I could care less if she was offended.

Edit ~ And yes, there is more than a little personal bias in that last statement. But you know what? I think that, if I'm biased against someone, it's for a reason. Quite frankly, if you aggrivate the mods/admins of a board on a regular basis, you deserve what you get.

ReaperFett

TheHolo.Net
Feb 26th, 2003, 07:20:29 PM
Here is the email (whiney novel) I got from Dara:
Hello Chris,
I am writing with a grave concern over a thread in the OOC forum today at SWFans which was made by one of your staff members. I believe the thread to be nothing more than a flame bait and the posts it incited thereafter did nothing more than provide an outlet to flame someone who does not post at the board. Here is the thread I refer to:

SWFans.Net Forums (http://sw-fans.net/forum/index.php)
- Out Of Character

(http://sw-fans.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=2)
-- On behalf of the Mods and Admins of Swfans...

(http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=27660)

I am lodging a formal complaint that a SWFans Moderator, Sanis Prent, used privileged moderator information regarding my login status/visitation habits/lurking status in an attempt to expose me in an unprofessional display of harassment/embarrassment. I also would like to point out that this thread and treatment of myself comes unprovoked by me and takes the stance of being "on behalf of the mods and admins of SWFans" as if it were a consensus of staff sentiment being conveyed regarding those who choose to login and read, but not post.

Although my full roleplay name was not defined, the reference was
unmistakable. When the thread first started, Sanis posted the initials of my character, "D.S." but then edited it after approximately 15 minutes (see the time of the edit by Sanis in the first post) to just refer to the first name of my roleplay character as "D". You can ask Figrin D'An to confirm the D.S. vs. D editing if you would like to. Figrin saw the first version and the edited version. I don't have any reason to hide my presence at SWFans from the staff.. I'm not banned and I am not harassing anyone.. I'm just reading. I have indeed visited every day for over 6 months.

Words such as "coward" and "laughable" were used in reference to "D", and "D" and was ridiculed for being seen by the staff logging in and visiting SWFans every day for the past 6 months. The last thread I posted in at SWFans was in the Storytelling forum in the thread called Crusade: ShadowFire and the date/time of that last post was 06-16-02 04:49 AM. That was well over 8 months ago since TSE split from SWFans and went to SWR.

I do log in and read SWFans every day. I am not banned from the board nor am I there in a malicious way. I stay on invisible mode so that the regular posters will not be disturbed or distracted by my presence. I also log in because I am awaiting contact from an old friend whom I do not know the exact date of their return. I believe they will come looking for me at SWFans so it is there that I will faithfully visit until their arrival. Who knows, we may want to create new characters to post there since they enjoyed the SWFans forum alot.

I typically stay logged in at SWFans and never do the logout process. My Control Panel user options are set to make me invisible online, however as an admin of my own vBulletin board, I realize that does not make me invisible to the moderators/admins of SWFans. I have continued to respectfully abide by the initial agreement by Sums and you for those of us with past differences to not post at SWFans, and that is why there was no post by me in the thread in question tonight.

I was unaware that I was in any violation of the rules of the forum by
logging in and reading while on invisible status, and I would like to
request for this matter to be looked into by you personally if possible. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon regarding this important matter.

And here is my reply:
I’m sorry, but I see no issue that would raise any grave concern.

No one has said you cannot read threads on the board, just as no one has said that you cannot post on the board if you wish. Whatever agreement you say existed between Sums and myself has no bearing on your posting at Fans or not, because the agreement he and I made was between the two of us, not any one else..

If you were a currently active and/or contributing member of our community I would have more sympathy in this instance, but as it is there isn’t a single bit of harm done to anyone here.

I have seen things just as bad if not worse about the SWFans staff at the SWR board and even the SWRPG board, yet I never raised any formal complaint, because I am not a part of that community and what others want to say about me at a place I have no active part in is their concern not mine.

There will be no action taken and no apologies given. Making a big drama out of this situation is completely needless and a waste of your time as well as mine.

Take care.

I'm tempted to sticky it, but I'll let someone else do it if they wish.

Excellent response, Chris. I've seen them bashing persons of this community in public without so much as an attempt to hide who they're talking about. And when I brought this up to them, they told me that I don't post there so it's none of my business (I believe the exact phrase they used was along the lines of "Why come here to post when you know that most of us don't like you?"). She has less than no right to whine, IMHO.
